1T is said that when Henry Ward
Beecher Was freshman at Amherst
his Professor shut his eyes and called
un him to demonstrate some geOmet
ricai problem. Young Beecher re-
sponded, aud to his own satisfaction
reached a conclusion. Without open
ing his eyes, the Professor deliberately
opened his mouth and said mo-"
whereupon the student backed up aud
started in again. He had laid down
the same premises as before, and could
not avoid arriving at the same conclu-
! sion, whereupOn the Professor, wit
his eyes still closed, calculated "no," "
and for q third time, the future Ply
mouth pastor went through the de

same conclusion, and for a third time
heard mo" Flinging himself into
his seat, he exclaimed: Well, il
that demonstration is not correct,
can't give it," The Professor there
upon called upon another student
who, adopting the premises Beechel
had laid down, reached precisely the
same conclusion, and hearing salts
fied that's right from his instructor
sat down. = Why, that's the same
demonstration 1 gave" put in young
Beecher, with some warmth. "Weil
why didn't you stick to it?" answered
the Professor, his yes now wide open

THESE are some of the performances
Of the Republicans in the late Con.
gress: They voted solidly on two
occasions against even considering the
subject of TAX reduction. They voted
to u man to pass over the veto of the
President q bill pensioning men fol
poverty that would have added $50,
OOO, 600 or $50, ,0OO, 600 to ihs pension
list. They voted for the Mexican pen.
sions aud the River and HarbOr bill
They sent down from the Senate bills
that would have added 800, 600, 600 to
the appropriations and prevented 8
reduction of the war taxes for at least
thirty years to come. If this is rec.
ord that will commend the Repnbli
cans in Congress to Intelligent men,

&c, and fewer school houses there

Another Railroad Horror,

A heavily loaded passenger train on
the Boston & Providence met with q
terrible accident about O'Clock Mon.
day morning, resulting in the death
of 33 persons and the serious injury of
between 60 and 20 others. many it is
feared fatally. The cause of the scci-
dent was a flaw in the iron bridge on
the Dedham branch of the Boston and
Providence Railroad over South street
between Forest Hills and Rosindale
station, near Boston. The engine and
three cars went over safely, but the
five others fell through the bridge to
the road beneath, distance of thirty
feet. The last car, which was the
smoker, turned completely over, and
struck on the top of the others, crush
ing them into splintered and broken
mass. Then ensued a scene which
would appal the stoutest heart. Criei
and groans filled the air from the man
gled and bleeding victims; bodies il
every form of mutilation, minglet
with the debris, gave evidence of tn
manner in which the swift and un
heralded messenger of death had &C
complished its work. Such accident
are becoming alarmingly frequent. l
would seem that the safety of the trav
cling public demanded greater pre-
cautionary measures, that the chance
between life and death when one take
: passage on train might be NOR
evenly balanced.
